Other Connectors

Serial connector
RS232 serial connector
RS232
Ω
The connector is used with control devices having an RS232
serial port (for example, Crestron and AMX touch-screen
controllers).
Network connector
Networking is a large subject and only the briefest guidelines
are presented in this handbook. Please contact your Arcam
dealer or specialist installer for more information about
introducing the Receiver into your computer network.
ETHERNET
USB 5V/0.5A
HEIGHT2 HEIGHT1 Z2 OUT
Ethernet
If an Ethernet cable is connected, the Receiver will
automatically attempt to connect to your network.
You should use CAT5 cable plugged into the RJ45 socket
Ω
labelled on the rear panel.
If your network uses static IP addressing rather than DHCP,
you will need to provide IP address, gateway and DNS; see
page EN-34 for information on setting up the network.
USB connector
The Receiver can be updated via the USB socket on the rear
of the unit, if no network connection and so "Over The Air"
update is not available.
Trigger connectors
TRIG Z1
tip: Trigger output
sleeve: Ground
TRIG Z2
Ω
The trigger connectors ( and ) provide an
electrical signal whenever the Receiver is switched on and
the relevant zone enabled.
The trigger signal can be used to switch on and off
compatible pieces of home entertainment equipment, for
example, you could set up a trigger to turn on your television
and BD player whenever the Receiver was switched on.
There are two trigger output sockets on the Receiver, each
capable of outputting a 12V, 70mA switching signal. The
socket is designed for mono 3.5mm jacks: tip is the trigger
output, sleeve is ground.
TRIG Z1
Use for remotely turning on and off power amps or source
equipment for Zone 1. On = 12V, Off = 0V.
TRIG Z2 (Not AVR10, AVR5)
Use for remotely turning on and off power amps or source
equipment for Zone 2. On = 12V, Off = 0V.
Infrared (IR) connectors
Z1 IR
tip: Modulated signal
sleeve: Ground
Z2 IR
The infrared inputs ( and ) allow the connection of
external IR receivers, either when the Receiver front panel IR
receiver is fully or partially obstructed or to allow the use of a
remote control in Zone 2.
There are two IR inputs on the Receiver, each designed for
stereo or mono 3.5mm jacks. Tip is the modulated signal,
sleeve is ground.
Z1 IR
This input is intended for use with a local IR receiver when
the front panel of the Receiver is blocked.
Z2 IR (Not AVR10, AVR5)
This input is intended for use with an IR receiver in Zone 2 to
allow remote control of Receiver from a second room.
EN-14
A supplier of infra-red receivers and emitter accessories
and systems is Xantech. See www.xantech.com for more
information, or ask your Arcam dealer.
NOTE: The IR inputs on the Receiver are designed
for modulated signals. If the external IR receiver
demodulates the IR signal, it will not work. Also the
unit does not provide power for external receivers on
the IR jack, therefore an external power source will be
required.
NOTE: Sockets referring to 'Z2' relate to connections
used in multi-room installation. For more information
on these connectors, see page EN-11.
